Game Summary

The Waterloo women's hockey team played their second game in as many days on Sunday afternoon in London coming away with their first win of the season blanking the Western Mustangs 2-0.  First year head coach Shaun Reagan earned his first win behind the bench with the black and gold.

The Mustangs came out firing in the first period only to have their chances foiled by rookie netminder Rebecca Bouwhuis (Orillia/) stopping all 10 first period shots.  Late in the frame the Warriors would take the lead on the power play with Ona Mezenberg (Owen Sound/) scoring her first goal of the year (second point of the weekend) with assists going to Emma McMillan (Hastings/) and Julia Endicott (Toronto/).

Waterloo wasted little time adding to their late early in the second as Kate Wagner (Sauble Beach/) would put Waterloo up by two goals only 20 seconds into the period with a seeing-eye shot from the point which eluded Mustangs goalie Alison Li (Richmond, B.C.).  Ceaser would pick up her second assist of the weekend on the goal.

Heading into the third period up by two, Waterloo showed their defensive posture and with some timely saves by Bouwhuis the Warriors cruised to the shutout victory.  Bouwhuis made 27 saves for the shoutout while Li stopped 25 of 27 shots faced.

Next up for the Warriors is their home opener of their 10^th season as they face the newest team of the OUA, Ryerson Rams on Saturday, October 15.  Puck drop is set for 2pm and the game can be seen live on the Streaming Sports Network (SSN Canada).
